I KNow I haven't been writing as much as I used to. Almost forgotten the password to log in. Haha. Okay, not so funny.
Hm.. I miss going on a photography excursion. Have been busy-not so busy-lazy-whatever you call it. Sometimes music enables me to just sit down and day(night) dream, reflecting on thoughts, issues. Just realized the other day how much music actually affects my mood.
I am currently in the same phase that I've been through 6-9 months ago. YES, that assignment phase. bleah. It (the assignment block) always cuts me off. Almost to the point of being unable to function..
I'M PUSHING ON!
While I'm here, I might as well show you a part of what I call, work in progress.
Some may or may not notice, but we have a beautiful country. And for those who noticed, have you seen it at night? It's like, so awesome......... But my eyes couldn't see.. that clearly. So I used the help of camera to capture what I saw. And of course, with a little twist.. You know I couldn't resist.
Calm down and take your time. Don't let it pass you by. You've spotted your target, aim for it. Capture it before your moment is gone. When you've caught it, you smile because you feel proud of yourself.
...Yes. They might be talking about fishing. But me, I'm talking about taking photos.
One would say that I was too free. That's why I had the time to do a some experimental photography. People might wonder why I sat under the sun so long by myself. Wonder away, because questions like that would not come to mind when you're lost in the moment doing your own thing.
So we woke up at 7 some' to catch the sunrise or rather what was left. Too bad on both days, because the sky was a cloudy one. Once you're awake and the food's served, you can't very well go back to bed. Armed with a camera and a full stomach, I went on my journey to discover the place.
I came not knowing exactly where we were staying. I arrived to find out that we were in fact staying in the NS camp itself. So it was a surprise to find so much of greenery around.
I thought that I have absolutely no passion for nature photography, but I guess the real question is actually how you use nature in your photography. This is my version of experimental /abstract photography with nature.
One would wonder, "Why is there a ladder in the middle of nowhere?" I have no idea, but I was more intrigued with capturing it into frame. So mysterious ain't it?
Speaking of mysterious.. I had the opportunity to follow one of the fisherman. I call him, mysterious man. Why? Truthfully it's because I didn't get a clear shot. Haha.
And that's my "fishing" trip.
The end.
Just teasing, of course that's not it. Aren't you happy that I have more in store?
Noticed how I've been using a lot of lalang in my pictures lately? Well now you know I have a thing for it. Lol. I've had 2 people who happily walked into the tall grasses for me.
I was hoping for a jetty, but I stumbled upon a dock instead. Suits me just fine because I take what I can get. I really enjoyed myself up there. I got the fresh air I was looking for, and there were so many funny stories that happened there.. esp with my mum, or like how it sounded like the ending of a marathon race when one of us caught the fish. Enjoy the rest of my people-pictures!
omg. I cracked a joke at a cashier yesterday. No, I don't know him nor have i ever talked to him before. One can't help it you know, when his name is.... Frenly.
These days when colleagues of mine says "Let's jam", it no longer meant jamming on the acoustic guitar and the drum set. It meant, Guitar Hero World Tour! Lol, yes.. plastic guitar, plastic drum set, and plastic mic.
Why do they make the environment so fun?! It's harder to leave office now. I find myself leaving the office at 930 to 10+ instead these days.
Ah, the joy of long weekend. Gonna do some air sniffing.. If my nose works.
I think my company have been feeding me a little too well. But I'm not complaining. Who does here? What's worse is I can't confirm my suspicion because I don't see any weighing scale around. Maybe I'll sneak a 20¢ coin at that scale in the mall..
So far, things have been falling into place. Though I missed what I used to have, I'm grateful for what I've been blessed with. :)
Just the other day a colleague of mine (who used to be an intern there) told me that of all the intern that she has seen, I am the quickest one who got comfortable there. Eg; Talking to my creative director like he's my friend. It's not that hard, given the fact that we have a few common interests.
As she mentioned that, I realized she's right. My high school friends, whom I met up recently also noted the same thing. I didn't used to be this kind of person. The person who opens up more. The person I was, would jokinglybutnot say to another that I don't like breathing things. Okayokay, I was young when I said that. But yes, I'm glad I didn't stay that way.
But boyohboy, I'm still as naïve as ever. Fell for the trap that my classmate (that I've met after 7 years) is married with a kid. I even said the boy resembles her when he's actually her boyfriend's nephew. ==
As we often take things for granted, a song that I've been listening to reminds me that;
And so what happened it july? A few things, I imagined. A different story to tell, places to go. Thought I'd share, just a few snapshots - whenever the camera takes me.
